Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Chapter 107: Sinking Island Yanshan, gloomy and ghostly ( words)
Qi training monks, everyone is eager to build a foundation.

For elixirs such as Foundation Establishment Pills that can assist in foundation building, one pill can often cost a Foundation Establishment family hundreds of years of savings.

But even so, there are still countless foundation-building families and Qi-training and loose cultivators who go to the auction one after another to compete for it.

Don't they know that using Earth Fiend to build the foundation can easily open up the Purple Mansion and even form a pill?
Although there is no hope of high-grade golden elixirs to build the foundation of Disha, it is not difficult to obtain middle-grade and low-grade golden elixirs.

But even if it is the lowest grade Jindan, it is still Jindan Zhenren.

They know there's just nothing they can do.

Even the Golden Pill Sect has to look for pill-forming spiritual objects, or even ask someone to refine the Golden Pill to form the pill.

Among these small foundation-building families and precarious Qi-training monks, who dares to dream of that sweet dream?
In the past, Tian Ming'an had looked down upon the foundation-building families in Qingzhou counties and looked down upon the mediocre casual cultivators.

Thinking about it now, Tian Ming'an realized that it wasn't that they didn't know what was good and what was bad, they just didn't have the ability to expect those things.

It's as if everyone knows that being able to build a foundation within a period of time is already an above-average talent.

But what about those who have already established a foundation in their twenties?

What about those who have already opened the Zifu in their 30s?
Are their qualifications really higher than those of casual cultivators?
For a moment, Tian Ming'an suddenly felt pity for the casual cultivators.

Suffering from no resources and no skills, even if you have good qualifications and talents, they can only be wasted.

For a little resource and an ordinary skill, one has to sell oneself to a wealthy family and work as a pawn for the children of those families.

Even if he joins the sect, he is just an outer disciple, being ordered around and used as consumables.

Even if he takes refuge in the royal family, he is still an ant who can be dispatched, appointed and dismissed at will by the royal family.

However, even so, it is a blessing to be able to join the royal family and join the sect.

Seemingly feeling the same, Tian Ming'an sighed and went to find a wine shop to have a drink.

In the wine shop, several people were also drinking. After seeing Tian Ming'an drinking alone, they specially invited Tian Ming'an to join them.

Tian Ming'an, who was careful, did not drink their wine, but he was still drunk.

Tian Ming'an, who had never drank before, knew for the first time what it felt like to have a splitting headache, and for the first time he knew what the consequences of being hungover would be if he went out.

After Tian Ming'an woke up, he looked at the dark alley where he was, at the filth and garbage around him, and then at the fact that there was nothing left except his clothes. Tian Ming'an was completely confused.

"Where's my storage bag?"

"Where's my breast goggles?"

Tian Ming'an felt extremely depressed. If it weren't for the fire needle hidden in his sleeve, he might have really lost everything.

The storage bag contains all the silver coins, spiritual stones, and various elixirs.

It was all the money he spent on practicing and purchasing resources over the years.

Originally, Tian Ming'an hoped to search around again, but if it didn't work, he would wait for seven years, and then use the money in his storage bag to buy a Disha.

But now, let alone waiting on Baishang Island for seven years, he even had problems with what to eat next and where to stay tonight.

For a moment, Tian Ming'an felt the malice coming from the spiritual world.

The world is dangerous and you need to be careful in everything.

The master is not around, and Tian Ming'an is alone and knows no one around him.

For future practice and for his own food and accommodation, Tian Ming'an wanted to go to the store to help.

But the shop would never hire a strange monk, and no one was sure whether he was a desperate man or a spy sent by his enemy.

Even if a desperate person has a wrong idea after seeing so many things in the store, wouldn't it be another disaster?
Therefore, Tian Ming'an found that without any identity background or introduction, he couldn't even work as a helper.

In the end, I had to follow a few casual cultivators and reluctantly formed a gang.

Yeah, just gangs.

Because these casual cultivators have no other big ambitions except extortion.

After staying with them for a few days, Tian Ming'an, who couldn't adapt to this kind of life, quit the gang and took away the gang's funds.

Later, Tian Ming'an earned a meager remuneration by receiving some simple commissions.

The so-called meager reward means that the client offered ten spiritual stones, but Tian Mingan could only receive three.

Because the person who posted the task had to eat two, and the platform that posted the task had to eat three, Tian Ming'an also needed a monk to be a guarantee before he could receive the commission, so he had to pay the guarantor two more spiritual stones.

A hard trip, but only three spirit stones.

There are three spiritual stones, and two more are used for staying in the hotel and eating.

In the end, there was only one spirit stone left in his hand.

Tian Ming'an finally understood why the casual cultivators were so fussy about Sosou, and why a foundation-building family had so few spiritual stones left all year round.

In the following six months, Tian Ming'an worked hard and finally gained some reputation for his hard work.

After all, Tian Ming'an's cultivation is considered to be a real high-level monk in the Qi training level. After accumulating some reputation and connections, Tian Ming'an initially tried to form his own team.

After experiencing fights between team members over resource allocation and constant disputes over target direction, Tian Ming'an worked hard for more than half a year without saving a single spiritual stone, and the team still fell apart.

Tian Ming'an understood another truth: casual cultivators are not suitable for forming a team.

Because everyone counts their own gains and losses, and no one wants to contribute.

In the end, Tian Ming'an no longer insisted on forming a team by himself, but chose to join some small groups with good reputations to stay together for warmth.

At the same time, Tian Mingan never stopped searching for those bastards who drank from him that day.

But those bastards, just like Tian Mingan's storage bag, disappeared on Baishang Island and were nowhere to be found.

After joining two or three small groups, Tian Mingan finally found a group that suited him.

The team is all monks at the ninth level of qi training. The atmosphere is harmonious, united and loving. Everyone is working together towards the goal of building a foundation.

There are only five people in the team, and after Tian Mingan is included, there are only six people.

The eldest brother, Lu Tianpeng, is a generous man and an enthusiastic hero. He is good at using fire and has a magical weapon called the Fiery Sword.

The second sister, Yan Wushuang, has a free and easy personality, is generous and aggressive, is good at using fire magic, and has a magic weapon wrapped with silk whip.

The third brother Sun Deshui, the fourth brother Jia Xiangquan, the fifth sister Gu Mingxi, and the youngest Tian Ming'an make up this group.

Naturally, Tian Ming'an couldn't use the Fire Needle, but after all, Tian Ming'an studied the Qingyuan Talisman Scripture and the teachings of Jiang Sheng's system, so Tian Ming'an could also make talismans.

Even the simplest first-level spiritual talisman is still rare in this team.

After forming a team, Tian Ming'an followed the big guys to take on tasks and earn commissions.

Either looking for spiritual herbs, looking for monsters, or helping people deliver goods, or guarding a few wealthy businessmen.

Although it was hard work for more than a year, Tian Ming'an's mood has calmed down.

At this time, Tian Ming'an would not think about stupid things like when he could build the foundation, but instead his spiritual state of mind improved. After another year of traveling, it has been two and a half years since Tian Ming'an came to Yunmeng Daze in forty-three years.

Everyone in the team is friendly and supportive, and such a team is extremely rare among casual practitioners.

At the end of the forty-seventh year, the eldest brother Lu Tianpeng and the second sister Yan Wushuang officially became Taoist couples. The six of them had a rather extravagant spiritual food and wine banquet to celebrate.

"It is my luck, Lu Tianpeng, to be able to meet you brothers and sisters."

"It is my fate to meet Wushuang."

"No more words, third brother, fourth brother, fifth sister, sixth brother, come and drink!"

Lu Tianpeng raised his wine glass as he spoke. Even though it was the poorest quality spirit wine, several people still drank it happily.

After Lu Tianpeng and Yan Wushuang got married, they rested for a few days and then started running around again.

Because Lu Tianpeng and Yan Wushuang, who are married, need to consider their offspring.

After running around for half a year, the third brother Sun Deshui brought good news: "I found the news about Disha!"

Disha!

A Earth Demon who can build foundations, open up purple mansions, and form golden elixirs!
No matter how much Lu Tianpeng and Yan Wushuang accumulated spiritual stones these days, they could not pay for the Foundation Establishment Pills.

But now that there is news about Disha, who would want the Foundation Establishment Pill?
Tian Ming'an was a little suspicious: "Third brother, how did you know about the news about Disha?"

Sun Deshui told the whole story:

In the Yunmeng Daze, there are hundreds of millions of vast blue waves. In this vast expanse of the Daze, there are no islands.

Many islands sank into the water for unknown reasons, and they don't know when they will pop up again.

That Disha is on a submerged island.

The island is called Yanshan Island.

It is rumored that a real person once established a dojo on Yanshan Island, but later that real person died in a battle with another real person.

As a result, Yanshan Island's pillars were broken and it sank into the Yunmeng Daze.

But every sixty years, Yanshan Island will briefly surface again.

There is evil energy on Yanshan Island.

This news is actually a rumor. After all, no one can confirm that Yanshan Island really exists.

It only takes a year to surface briefly. Who has the time to look for traces of Yanshan Island?
After hearing this, Lu Tianpeng felt that he could give it a try.

"Anyway, it's just a waste of time. The Foundation Establishment Pill is too expensive. Even if we, my husband and I, my brothers and sisters save up for fifty years, it will be difficult to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill unless we don't eat or drink."

"If we don't look for opportunities, are we going to sit there until we die?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone thought it was feasible, and Tian Ming'an did not refuse. He rented a boat with everyone to look for traces of Yanshan Island.

The reason why the third brother Sun Deshui dared to tell Yanshan Island was because he had a fragmented map in his hand, and the location of Yanshan Island was marked on the fragmented map.

The six people rowed for several months and finally arrived at the location marked on the residual map before the end of the year.

According to the saying that it appears once a year, Yanshan Island will emerge from the water at the end of the year.

The six of them waited for several days, and finally the New Year's Eve came.

However, Tian Ming'an and the others discovered that not only were they here, but many casual cultivators and even some foundation-building cultivators were also here.

Everyone kept a certain distance, no one took action, and waited quietly for Yanshan Island to appear.

Finally, at midnight, the calm water surface suddenly surged, and there was a vague black shadow in the water that was getting bigger.

Then, under everyone's gaze, the water surface was drained away, and dark rocks emerged from the water.

The waves were raging, spreading in all directions one after another. Large areas of rocky land emerged from the water, and there were also many broken buildings.

In just half an hour, Yanshan Island completely surfaced.

This is an island with a radius of about 500 miles, with towering rocks and jagged rocks. A dilapidated building is located in the mountain. There seem to be some plants growing tenaciously among the rocks.

"Yanshan Island has really appeared, go there quickly!"

Someone shouted, and a ship moved closer to Yanshan Island.

Tian Ming'an and the others were no exception. The six of them quickly boarded the island and hurried towards the center of the island.

There may be traces of Earthly Evil in that dilapidated building.

Not long after the six people landed on the island, more monks landed on the island.

Some monks headed inland after landing on the island, while others blocked the monks approaching Yanshan Island from the shore, obviously not wanting more people to land on Yanshan Island.

For a time, there were sounds of fighting everywhere on Yanshan Island.

Although Tian Ming'an and the others ran faster, they would inevitably be caught up.

The people who caught up saw that they were six monks at the ninth level of Qi training, and they didn't dare to provoke them easily.

But even so, there are still various things on Yanshan Island that are blocking Tian Ming'an's actions.

I don’t know how many creatures there were on Yanshan Island when it sank into Yunmeng Ze. Now there are many ghosts and ghosts on Yanshan Island. Even the vegetation on the island seems to be polluted by the resentful and hostile ghost energy, and has become twisted and weird.

Along the way, Tian Ming'an and the others encountered many ghosts and monsters, and some demonic vegetation set traps.

Either there was an extra hole in front of them, or a poisonous vine suddenly appeared to tie them up.

Tian Ming'an, Lu Tianpeng, and Yan Wushuang continued to use fire techniques, burning the vines with fire waves and fire balls, defeating the ghosts that appeared from time to time, and finally reached the foot of the Black Mountain.

The center of Yanshan Island, which is five hundred miles in radius, is the Black Mountain covering dozens of miles and thousands of feet high.

Although it is only a few dozen miles in radius, Black Mountain is rugged, the roads are rugged, and there are countless ghosts and strange trees on the mountain.

Tian Ming'an watched with his own eyes as a foundation-building monk relied on his ability to fly and planned to fly directly to the Black Mountain. As a result, he was surrounded by ghosts in mid-air, fell into the mountain with a wailing scream, and disappeared among the strange trees.

Seeing this scene, even Lu Tianpeng, who wanted to get the Earth Demon, hesitated a little: "This Black Mountain is too weird, not to mention the ghosts everywhere on it, and the damaged building doesn't look like a palace or Taoist temple, it's quite weird. Do we still want to go up?”

Even Sun Deshui, who took the initiative to come, was inevitably a little hesitant: "To be honest, a Foundation Establishment monk will die if he is not careful. Even if we are at the ninth level of Qi training, can we still match the methods of a Foundation Establishment monk?"

As several people talked, they all wanted to go back.

But Yan Wushuang said: "We only have this life anyway. If we don't fight now, do we really expect to go without food or drink for fifty years to save the cost of the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Tian Ming'an took a deep breath: "Yes, now is not the time to hesitate. Isn't it too late to talk back when we get to the bottom of the mountain?"

"I'll take the lead and enter the mountain!"
